Fusion Silencio is a strong all-rounder, and a GeForce GTX 970, despite well-publicised memory 'problems,' makes this a highly capable gaming rig at a sub-£1,000 price point.

As a general rule of thumb, the GTX 970 allows in-game quality settings to be cranked up to maximum, and in most titles you can still expect a return of over 60 frames per second at a full-HD resolution.
